Oh wow, I didn't know HN still had knowledgeable commentators! (I thought it was a competition to say BLUE COMPANY BAD GREEN COMPANY GOOD in various ways).

So OP assuming I still want to buy an AMD because of its ECC support, (and can get my hands on a GPU), can you point me somewhere so that I can read about the last point you made. (EDIT: haven't researched but https://www.amd.com/en/processors/ryzen-with-graphics has integrated?)

Can you also list any other factors that I should weight in my decision, specifically against AMD?

I do wonder how good the secure enclave offerings of both platforms are. So far I am left believing that Intel's is actually mature and AMDs is not.
